Be unable to care for herself or her baby Be afraid to be alone with her baby Have negative feelings toward the baby or even think about harming the baby (Although these feelings are scary, they are almost never acted on. Still you should tell your doctor about them right away.) Worry intensely about the baby, or have little interest in the baby
